Meet the Artist features Briánna Reynolds, April 4 at 7 p.m.

Colfax artist Briánna Reynolds is the featured guest
for Meet the Artist on Thursday, April 4 at 7 p.m. in
the Norma McGregor Community Room of the Colfax Library.
During this free event, Reynolds will share her artwork
and the influences that have shaped and inspired her.

At an early age, Reynolds’ parents noticed she was
drawing at a level beyond her years. Nurturing her with
lessons and encouragement, her talent continued to grow.
Today, Reynolds studies under highly accomplished
bookmaker and artist Tim Ely, who has boosted her
creativity while exploring new mediums and techniques.
Reynolds says, “Tim is teaching me of the power within
imagination and that art has very few limitations when
imagination and creativity are involved.”

Reynolds loves painting living creatures, especially
horses and elephants. She also credits a recent trip to
China for influencing her artwork. While there, she was
fascinated by the culture and learned a lot about color,
patterns and texture. Reynolds says, “I’ve seen a real
change in my work since returning from China.”
